We took a break this week…

well, at least a couple of days – between hot cross bun/chocolate induced food comas and poor weather productivity was reduced 🙂 Teaching will return to it’s normal schedule on Monday (we hope).

Things to check out in this edition – @WINFOCUS finds that training exclusively on healthy volunteers is AOK, @POCUS101 adds to their free resources (this time focused on shoulder imaging) and @jminardi21 releases his 25oth YouTube video (awesome work Joseph) with the final in a series on DVT.

Checking out for the day for another snack of chocolate…

See you next week.

Suean and Mike

P.S. – the April Coaching Corner from last week will be up within the next week – keep your eyes peeled.

Get the most out of your teaching moments – join our TRain the UltraSound Trainer (TRUST) course This isn’t a course on how to perform an ultrasound examination or use the technology – it’s designed to give you the teaching tools you’ll need to teach ultrasound on the run. In the words of a previous participant – it’s meta!
